The duty cycle of the a/c clutch is subjective with the following factors considered:
Refrigerant pressure in the system,
Ambient temperature,
Cabin temperature,
Coolant temperature,
Control setting,
Throttle position sensor signal,
Sun load sensor signal,
Engine rpm.
There is no particular pattern unless your system is that of the old non-climate control system that relies on the a/c amplifier, or the pressure switch of the CCOT (cycling clutch orifice tube) type.
Climate control is a more precise localized temperature targeting.
In hybrids and electric cars, you dont have a compressor clutch and therefore you shouldnt be able to hear a clutch-like click on engagement
